Thankful Pumpkin Rainbow Embroidery Design, Instant Download

Worked on this one for about a week trying to get the leopard print texture right on the outer rainbow arch. The top arch is yellow gold with black leopard spot pattern stitched into it, then below thats an orange arch, then a black arch, then a narrower dark brown band. A squat pumpkin sits right where the arches converge in the middle, orange with a tan stem and a little curl at the top. Below the whole rainbow, the word 'Thankful' runs in large bold brush script lettering, thick strokes with slight roughness at the edges so its not looking too polished.

5 colours and 5 sizes from 2.4 inches up to 5.1 inches wide. Stitch count goes from about 9k at the smallest up to just under 20k at the largest. The leopard pattern is the densest section because of the individual spot outlines inside the arch fill. My sister stitched this last thanksgiving on a dark olive tee and it came out really well, the yellows and orange were punchy against the dark fabric.

Back it with a mid-weight stop on t-shirts and sweatshirts, the brush lettering at the bottom needs solid backing to hold the thick strokes clean. On stiffer fabrics like denim or canvas you can go tearaway. Use a topping layer on any fabric with surface texture, things like french terry or waffle knit, or the leopard spots wont resolve properly.

Works on dark fabrics as well as light ones. Try it in dark olive, burgundy, navy, black or rust orange as your base. On cream or white its a different feel, warmer and lighter, and thats a perfectly nice option too.
